Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

“Before the results of the trial were announced, he even said to the jury, ‘Do you know who I am? I was sent here by God himself to enlighten you, and now you are trying to punish me? You are so naive. With my contribution to Athens, you should not punish me. Instead, it would be best if you were celebrating my marvelous legacy. You should be showering me with untold gifts.”

Upon hearing that, Scarlett laughed very loudly, and then he continued,All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Because of his grandiose words, the jury was pissed off. His attitude just didn’t fly with them. So, the jury decided to take a vote, and the result this time was 360 vs. 140. As a result, he was sentenced to death. There was no amount of money or gold he could’ve given them to make them reverse that decision. And later, as everyone knows, his students bribed the prison guards to help Socrates escape, but he turned that down because he didn’t want to break the law. He was just waiting for death.”

“So what happened to him next?” Scarlett stared at him, wide-eyed.

“And then he was hanged!” He answered.

Upon hearing that, Scarlett stopped laughing and remained silent. What he said was thought-provoking to her.

“It’s getting pretty late now… isn’t it time for this darling boy here to go to bed?” The man cooed, breaking the silence. He pointed at Carlos. “It’s very important for babies to have regular bedtime schedules. Otherwise, it will affect his growth negatively.

Scarlett took a look at the time and smilingly held Carlos up, “He just slept too much in the afternoon and wasn’t able to fall asleep at night. That’s why I took him out. Time flies when you’re having fun! Isn’t that what they say?”

“Where do you live? Why don’t I give you a ride back home?” He stood up and said politely.

“No, thanks! We live nearby, about five minutes away!” She refused smilingly and went on, “Thank you for such a delightful evening, and goodnight!”

After that, Scarlett took the baby and walked away. The man stood there staring at them. Standing there, the man felt kind of regretful. How could he have been so silly? He had just talked on and on about Socrates with such a pretty woman in the most romantic atmosphere possible.

Francis had called Scarlett several times after he was done with work. But Scarlett hadn’t taken her phone with her when she had gone out with Carlos. Just as he was about to go outside looking for them, Scarlett and Carlos walked into the house.

“Where did you go? Why are you back so late? Why didn’t you take your phone along with you?” Francis asked in an urgent tone.

Upon seeing Francis, Carlos reached his arms out. He wanted Francis to carry him.

Francis took Carlos into his arms and cooed at him. He was happy to have his son back in his embrace at long last.

“I went to a restaurant for dinner!” She answered as she took his arm and smiled, “I met an interesting guy; he was handsome and really knowledgeable.”

“You met a guy? Where did he say he’s from?” Francis asked.

“Fell from heaven!” Scarlett jokes, pointing in the direction of the sky.

“I’m giving you exactly sixty seconds to respond to my question. Be honest with me and tell me what happened. Who was this guy?” Francis was becoming more demanding by the second.

Scarlett smiled and looked at Carlos, who was stunned by his father’s anger, and stroked his head, “I was with our baby. Who would be interested in a young mom like me, Francis? Don’t you think you’re being a little bit ridiculous?”

“Why do you sound like you regret having a baby with me? What’s happening with you?” Francis was worried.

“Maybe just a little bit,” Scarlett said, her eyes facing downward.

Francis flicked her on the forehead, and Scarlett responded angrily, “It’s not like I’m doing anything wrong, Francis. I just appreciate beauty. You don’t have any right to deprive me of such simple pleasures. I’m not cheating you or anything.”

“I just want you to fall for me like that. Like I’m handsome to you, too…” Francis frowned and said.

“You want that?”

“Am I not handsome to you?” He said with nervousness in his voice. Francis was used to women flattering him and calling him handsome all the time. He had, after all, been extremely popular with women before he had met Scarlett. It had never even occurred to Francis that he might end up with a woman who did not care much for his physical appearance.

Scarlett couldn’t help but laugh loudly. She buried herself in his arms and gave him a wet kiss on his cheeks.

“Francis, I’m suddenly finding you extremely cute!”

Hearing the word “cute,” Francis felt deeply unsatisfied. He realized he wasn’t– and maybe could never be– handsome in Scarlett’s eyes.

Early the following day, Scarlett woke up and decided to take young Carlos for a quick swim. As she woke Carlos up, she patted his butt gently and said, “Come on, baby, let’s wake up now. We’re going to go for a little swim before the sun comes out and says hi to the world.”

Sitting up in his bed with a few purrs, Carlos sat up. Scarlett couldn’t believe that such a cute child could be her own. She dressed him in inappropriate attire, but when the little swimsuit was put on, Carlos looked chubbier than ever. Scarlett couldn’t handle the sight of such cuteness– she wanted just to eat him up.

As for Scarlett, she wore a swimsuit that revealed her still slim, pale thighs. She looked charming– as usual.

As Francis was still asleep, he didn’t see the two getting all dressed up. Scarlett picked Carlos up and went on her way.

Grace followed them with the things that Carlos would need. At the sight of the sleepy baby, who could barely even open his eyes, she felt pity.

The swimming pool was on the west side of the city. There was a slight nip in the air since it was still so early in the morning, so Scarlett decided to take her coat along.
